Broadcast in Frame-relay

[paulo.prista]

Hi,

We have a small network with Cisco routers with a HQ and seven branches.

Now, we have changed from dedicated leased lines to frame-relay.

Our configuration is: seven subinterfaces in point-to-point on the core router and related config in the branch side. The default inverse Arp is in place (no map is configured)

Everything is ok, but as use Rip v2, and frame-relay, by default, does not run broadcasts, we are not receiving the annoucements of rip.

I circumvent this with static routes, but I would like to avoid this, using rip default.

How could I configure frame-relay to allow broadcast amongst the interfaces linked to the cloud?

Thanks,

Paulo Prista

You could use the rip neighbor command:

Also watch for split horizon issues. More info at the above URL

You could make the frame circuit broadcast using the broadcast keyword on the frame interfce ldci command, if this is a multipoint interface.
